I have the Linksys BEFSR41 router and Windows XP. I previously had an adsl connection that used pppoe and it worked great. Yesterday I got VDSL, and it doesn't use pppoe. If I go to TCP/IP and set my computers IP to 192.168.1.2, SM 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.1.1, I can access the router through my web browser, but can't get out on the web. I tried changing the router setting to "obtain an IP automatically", but that didn't work. Here's what I get when I do an ipconfig while the dsl modem is connected directly to the NIC:

I use the router as a firewall and the ability to network my 2 computers as well as have internet access on both comps. As far as I know, my ISP doesn't use my MAC address since they never asked me for one. If I connect the modem directly to my NIC, everything works great. Any help with setting this router up will be appreciated.
 
I have Good News To the People that Can not get a LinkSYS Router to work with. VDSL.......First Step Dump the Linksys router and pick up a NetGear router. I live in Glendale AZ I have QWEST.net for a ISP it is VDSL I have 1 Meg of Service. I picked up a NetGear RP614 4 PORT Router. I pluged it right in and I was connected. I went Through 2 LinkSyS Routers and 4 hours of LinkSYS Tech support if you want to call it that. They were scratching thier heads I know that for sure. I am more of a Graphics Guy then a Tech guy. I have it working with no Tech support.
Now getting it configured for file transfer on line will be another story. I will need tech support for that. I hope I helped someone out. after all I was looking for help about this same topic when I found this fourm.
